Question

HOW is
methyl amine prepared from
nitromethane and acetamide ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Methylamine is an organic compound with a formula of CH3NH2. This colorless gas is a derivative of ammonia, but with one hydrogen atom being replaced by a methyl group. It is the simplest primary amine. It is sold as a solution in methanol, ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, or water, or as the anhydrous gas in pressurized metal containers. Industrially, methylamine is transported in its anhydrous form in pressurized railcars and tank trailers. It has a strong odor similar to fish. Methylamine is used as a building block for the synthesis of many other commercially available compounds.

Answer :

• Methylamine can be prepared by the action of ammonia on methyl iodide,4 methyl chloride,5 dimethyl sulfate,6 methyl p-toluenesulfonate7 and methyl alcohol with a catalyst and at elevated temperatures;8 by the action of bromine and alkali9 and of bleaching powder10 on acetamide; by the action of sodamide on methyl.
